Join us on 25 June 2026 at 5:00 PM at INiTS in Vienna for an exclusive panel discussion followed by a moderated Q&A and networking session. The event brings together leading investors from across the financing spectrum from early stage backers to later stage venture capital firms offering candid insights into how investment decisions are really made.
The discussion will focus on how expectations evolve as companies mature, what investors look for at each stage, and how founders can approach fundraising more strategically and effectively.
